Greenplum Database 4.2.7.3 Release Notes
17513 Management
Scripts Suite
Running more than one gpfilespace command concurrently with itself to move
either temporary files (
--movetempfilespace ) or transaction files
(
--movetransfilespace ) to a new filespace can in some circumstances cause
OID inconsistencies.
Workaround: Do not run more than one
gpfilespace command concurrently with
itself. If an OID inconsistency is introduced
gpfilespace --movetempfilespace or
gpfilespace --movetransfilespace can be used to revert to the default
filespace.
17780 DDL/DML:
Partitioning
ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION inheritance issue
When performing an ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION operation, the resulting parts
may not correctly inherit the storage properties of the parent table in cases such as
adding a default partition or more complex subpartitioning. This issue can be
avoided by explicitly dictating the storage properties during the
ADD PARTITION
invocation. For leaf partitions that are already afflicted, the issue can be rectified
through use of
EXCHANGE PARTITION .
17795 Management
Scripts Suite
Under some circumstances,
gppkg on SUSE is unable to correctly interpret error
messages returned by rpm.
On SUSE,
gppkg is unable to operate correctly under circumstances that require a
non-trivial interpretation of underlying rpm commands. This includes scenarios that
result from overlapping packages, partial installs, and partial uninstalls.
17604 Security A Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.x security configuration file limits the number
of processes that can run on gpadmin.
RHEL 6.x contains a security file (/etc/security/limits.d/90-nproc.conf) that limits
available processes running on gpadmin to 1064.
Workaround: Remove this file or increase the processes to 131072.
17415 Installer When you run gppkg -q -info<some gppkg> , the system shows the GPDBversion
as main build dev.
17334 Management
Scripts Suite
You may see warning messages that interfere with the operation of management
scripts when logging in.
Greenplum recommends that you edit the /etc/motd file and add the warning
message to it. This will send the messages to are redirected to stdout and not
stderr. You must encode these warning messages in UTF-8 format.
17221 Resource
Management
Resource queue deadlocks may be encountered if a cursor is associated with a
query invoking a function within another function.
17113 Management
Scripts Suite
Filespaces are inconsistent when the Greenplum database is down.
Filespaces become inconsistent in case of a network failure. Greenplum
recommends that processes such as moving a filespace be done in an environment
with an uninterrupted power supply.
17189 Loaders: gpfdist
gpfdist shows the error “Address already in use” after successfully binding to
socket IPv6.
Greenplum supports IPv4 and IPv6. However,
gpfdist fails to bind to socket IPv4,
and shows the message “Address already in use”, but binds successfully to socket
IPv6.
